A very unknown Gem

It seems like the recent trend in food production is all about local production, local foods, local produces, local products. Wheatberry is another cafe situated in the quaint area of Amherst that is quite, but produces a strong voice. It uses local ingredients to produce rustic breads and pastries. I tried the mini scone($1) which was not in the least buttery, but filled with a nutty and grainy(in a good way) flavor and crumbled in your mouth.

 I would like to return and try their baguettes, which crusts look crisp and crunchy, and split nicely and tastfully. 
 It seems like a place you come when you only know about it, as it is situated not in the central town, but along side the road nearby the Emily Dickenson Museum, with small books related to what they believe (okay, local ingredients again), recipes using local ingrediens (we got the message) and other local people who stop by for an occasional copy and chat, or a peaceful reading. 

 It was a nice walk in a beautiful weather. Hi!
